How to read a Lyft offer
Lyft's ride request shows the estimated earnings and the pickup and trip time and distance. Add pickup and trip together for total miles and minutes. Then put the pickup part in the "unpaid pickup" fields, because you aren't paid for that drive.
Example (not real Westchester County data)
Say an offer pays $9.60 for 8.3 total miles and 21 minutes, with 1.8 miles of pickup. That's $1.16/mile and $27/hour. Against example targets of $1.00/mile and $25/hour, it's worth taking. After a $0.30/mile car cost, about $7.11 is left. Your targets and costs will differ.

Questions
How do I know if a Lyft offer in Westchester County is worth it?
Divide the pay by the total miles (pickup plus trip) and by the total time. Compare both to your own targets, then subtract your car cost per mile. The calculator above does this with the same scoring RideYield uses on Android.
What $/mile target should Westchester County drivers use?
There is no single right number. It depends on your car, gas, insurance and how busy Westchester County is when you drive. Many drivers start from what their car costs per mile and add the profit they want. The targets above are only starting examples you can edit.
What car cost per mile should I enter?
Use your own costs if you track them. For reference, the IRS business standard mileage rate is 72.5¢/mile for Jan 1–Jun 30, 2026 and 76¢/mile from Jul 1, 2026 (IRS Notice 2026-10 and IR-2026-29). That rate is for tax deductions and includes depreciation, so your out-of-pocket cost is usually lower.
Does this include Westchester County Airport airport trips?
Yes. For an airport run, include any unpaid wait in the minutes, and think about the empty drive back to where you want to work.
